School cleared

More than 1,000 staff and students from Thornhill Secondary School were evacuated again this morning after “new information” regarding a threat came to light.
The school was evacuated yesterday morning following a bomb threat.
While he is unwilling to say if the details are in regard to yesterday’s bomb threat or a separate incident, York Region District School Board spokesperson Licinio Miguelo said the board cleared the school after hearing from York Regional Police.
Students have been sent home with a letter explaining the action being taken, but not the reason behind it.
The school is expecting to open tomorrow. If plans change, parents will be notified, Mr. Miguelo added.
There have been complaints by parents about the flow of information to students, however the board has insisted its main concern has been student safety.
